A water leak that caused a cave-in, in a Round Rock Thursday.

The roof of the cave collapsed on the 8400 block of Cambria Road in Williamson County.

"While no one knows why it actually happened. The engineers suspect that freeze/thaw/moisture/drought just flexed everything enough that the roof of the cave collapsed," said Commissioner of Precinct 1 Terry Cook.

Barriers have been put up around the cave-in, and many photos of the cave have now surfaced on social media.

A video posted to Facebook by a woman who lives near the cave-in shows a biologist holding what could be either a stalactite or stalagmite allegedly found in the cave.

The biologist in that video can be heard saying, "Part of the cave was flooded from the broken water line.”
